...making £3 in tips

My first split shift at work and i have to say it went quick and wasnt very tiring at all

To begin with we put of the salt/pepper then the side plates and then the cutlery. Eughk. If i ever see another piece of cutlery again it will be too soon.
Break=food= This weird baked beans mash and cheese combo. Im not a huge fan of the BB but it was really godd, and sausages. Plus chocolate Yulog. Yum

Got changed then i was on clockroom duty.

I literally did nothing for 3 hours.
I dosed off, chatted to the fam and text whilst listening to music on my phone. Next time i think il bring a book. And here is where i made my tip. Dunno if it was actually a tip or if people thought you had to pay at the coat check. Well whatever it was i aint complaining.

Cleared up all the shit in the end and now here i am just got back and yes it is 3:09am and i started at 12:30pm

Its a hard knock ;ife

...being remembered

So B2K was at Embrace last night :)
I know right? i've got a celebrity theme going on here. Katy B is gonna be there on Monday but cbf.

Got my picture with JBoogs but not with Lil Fizz :(
My friend was complaining that theyre short in real life which for her is true cause shes like 5"9 or something, but yeah thinking about it after they arent that tall but they're every bit as hot in real life so cant complain too much. Got hugs off both of them. Its weird that no body here really even knows who they are.

The night anyways started off with like only 20people being in the club and thats including the bar staff and security. Exactly.
Plus the place stinks and the floors were sticky and we were cold.
Suffice to say that it all picked up in the end and we had a blast and the mandems from last night were there and a few rememebered my name or asked what it was cause they forgot or felt guilty when i asked them so it was all good in the Embrace hood

Lil Fizz is at the top left and Jboogs is obv the other one by default ;)

...jamming with the mandem

So dunno if ive mentioned it on this blog but im part of the acs (afro/caribbean society) so they put on this event; Primary Colours: Game Over.
And im just blaming the cold but hardly anybody turned up so it was literally the acs mandem and a few randomers. It was fun cause i knew that people knew i was there is that makes sence :?
We also did stupid dances like the chicken dance and the bit from You got served. Weird cause at my mates we were saying to do all the foolish dances in her room away from watching eyes. Also we had a dance off with some random dude.

So yeah also DJ RAPH <3 was performing and i knew the songs and got hype with the mans which was fun amd i met him and got a pic with his fine self. And we were chirpsing which is always fun, but he got taken away from me to sort some shizz but he was proper polite. and he's 23 perfect age :) He doesnt even care about illegal downloading. Clearly we had a really deep and intellectual convosation.

Smitten is what you could call me

...working 9 to 5

Well more like 12 till 11 and then 7 till 11 but heck i got paid for it so its all good no matter what the hours right?
Yeah the first day we were litterally like robots.
Theyd tell us to clean the plates; we'd clean the plates
Theyd tell us t0 steam the glasses; we'd steam the glassess
Theyd ask us to move the crates; we'd move the crates.
Not what youd call a very trying job. But they gave us food...Fish and chips and salad (Y)

Saturday i just did waiting and managed to carry three plates at once, granted it wasnt the hot main course plates it was just the ice cream plates. Yes plates for ice cream. What has the world come to i ask you.
Yeah im glad i got to do it cause id been practicing :)

...having flat 4 to myself

I knew 1. was going home as he does every other week and 2. Told me as well. So i thought it was just me and 3. But nope, i know we arent all buddy buddy but its just common curtisy to tell someone your not going to be here. She musta left on Friday while i was taking my nap and i only noticed on Saturday when i got back from Thanksgiving Dinner and everything was exactly as i left it.

It was fun. Music playing at 100 and cause my door was broken i was it open wide. Which was kinda scary so i closed it again :)
Watched my films mega loud and skyped noisely.
I could totall live by myself if the situation called out for it.

I was in and out all weekend so its not like i was just jammin at home. I think Tuesday may be my only day coming back straight from uni and not having to go back out again. This would be the second week in a row, though last week it was Thursday.

THIS WEEK
Monday: Bellydancig
Tuesday: Nudding
Wednesday: Student Church
Thursday: Work/Finding out about filming
Friday: Work
Saurday: Work
Sunday: Normal Church then Lunch

...having thanksgiving dinner

Like a real wannabe american. My friends american which meant i had someone to celebrate it with as apposed to doing it alone...Again ;)
So i got turkey and roast potatos and gravy and coconut rice and veggies <3 and Pumpkin pie and Blueberry pie with Ice Cream. Errrm Yum?
Meet her cousins husband who writes film reviews and we was pretty wicked, told him i was doing media and he said he could maybe help me out and introduce me to a few people. Heck this would be great for my Directing Career.

Also the church is pretty big and they have people filming it on Sundays so hopefully i can get involoved in that and ge experience. Also im thinking i will write a play and get the drama club to perform it. Obvs id be director.
Its weird how you tell someone something and the it jus sticks.
People who dont really think media is anything always ask me what i plan to do with it. I started telling them i wanted to be a director. Even though i wasnt 100% on the idea. It was just one of y options along with Camera person, Editor or producer. But one day i said it to another nose down looking person and there was a certain conviction in my mind and next thing you know.
I wanna  I'm Gonna Be A Director :)

Cool Right?

...being all sophisticated

A thing my current church puts on for sheffield its about honouring regular people; Night of Honour
But what was important about it for me was that i got to wear a sophisticated dress. Granted it had to be Black cause its my fave colour, and yes its still short, but its a nice short not a slutty short :)
Twas at City Hall and i love good architecture  ^_^

Good right?

That night when i got home it was like -6 degrees and as i was making sure my curtains were closed properly so i could start my film at about 2:00am The place was covered in snow :| Fun

And my dor tried to kill me. As i opened it the fire dor thingy at the top fell and swung towards me. Screws and all. Coulda been injured...Coulda sued.

...finally bellydancing

Dont know what i was expecting but it was still fun

I can do that :)

...actually getting a part in the musical

Im part of the Chorus, i think im one of like twenty so the other nineteen girlscan drown out my voice ;)

But i was still surprised after my hurendous audition, twas fun and id do it again me thinks.

Ah well time to move on to the next thing...Bellydancing.
Hopefully i can actually make the monday class its at seven so theres not really that much of an excuse, well so they say.
I love keeping busy and dashing in and out of th flat even if i never meet anyone new. The experience is part of the journey. Oooh thats good i might use that tagline for this blog :)

...having a phone interview

So much cheaper and easier than having to actualy attend one
It was at 11:20am so i set my alarm for 11:00 and after pressing the snooze button eventually got up at 11:10 and brushed my teeth before settling into bed with my laptop, and as soon as it said 11:19 my phone rang.
Talk about efficient ^_^

Got the job i think but it doesnt start till January so im still in a pickle for the time being but at least i have something to look forward. I dont think im that hyped because i havent had a first day yetso it doesnt feel real.

So until i have my training day in Jan as confirmation im still thinking that i dont hae a job

...still being jobless

Didnt get the HMV one
Didnt get the USC one
Havent hard from Ann Harvey but i dont really wanna work there, the womans a bitch and the pay's even worse.
Kowing my luck thats excatly where i'll end up getting a call back from

...getting a call back

from USC i think it went really well but one can hardly tell these things.
It was like it went so well that i might not have gotten it cause maybe we were too chummy. But then again this could be a good thing no?
Also had an interview at Ann Harvey....The woman was a bitch.
Not quite sure yet if she was one of those people who know that they're a bitch, or one of them people that dont know.
To b fair i cant tell you which one is worse.

...being laptopless

Its been taken away to be fixed so this has forced me to trudge down to the library and play the part of a studying uni student. Fun times.

...speed dating

Well it didnt end up being speed dating but  did meet a gir who lives in my accomodation so that's a bonus at least.
Then we went for a chinese buffet. OMG that food was delishious ^^
Then we spontaiously wen to a party
I was wearing skinny jeans and those short fuzzy boots.
Yeah needless to say that an oxygen pump shoulda been giving to each person on arrival.
Also tryed to get to know 3 different people today
1. I decided that i just wasnt that facinated by anymore
2. I decided was fake and i didnt want to be facinated by them anymore
3. Observed from afar and even though they seemed like  lod pompous folk at least they had personality, and this perso shall be my half new target.
Fun times all round

...going to church

Yeah, wacky right?
Ah well the whole point of this blog ad university itself is to try and dothings that you usually wouldnt do.
So i guess im going to church

...getting my first...and second interview

at meadowhall, which is the name of the local mall.
Well its a 20minute tram ride away so im not sure how local that is but yeah.
Its at a shop called USC and they sell a shit load of designer stuff.
Was a group interview which i tend to despise, but this wasnt that bad
had to use newspaper/plastic bags to create an outfit for a celebrity.
We did the minidude from JLS and i know that i merked it so im not that worried.
Yes this sounds very proud, but to be fairits just honesty ;)

Did i mention that i also got a call as soon as i got back for another interview, this time at HMV which would be amazing, as its a DVD shop and we all know how i feel at DVD's ^_^
The interview was mega casual and i didnt get a chance to say alot :/ they just threw dates and questions at me. The quesions were the ones that only required one answer. That answer started with a Y and endd with an ES so i was all yes lady in there.

Well il find out how they both went next week so fingers crossed and half for me then eh

...back after my first time going home

and no homesickness. Not that thats a surprise, i dont homesick :)
Friday we went to Fabrics and did an all nighter there with the guys

Then on Saturday i went home and it was my brothers birthday party so that was fun casue it meant that i got a party bag, cake, and time on the bouncy castle. As well as going through all my brothers presents and deeming them un/acceptable. Fun times and wisdom i impart on the young eh?

...having someone stay over at mine

Well its not really anyone special, just Nazia xD
Came up from London to see me for a few days
First she forgot to get off the coach and ended up in Leeds
Then proceeded to be sick all over my floor
Then we went clubbing at embrace which was fun cause we wee both in mega high heels which is such a relief considering everyone now just tends to wear flats. Defeat the purpose much?
Now off to London

...being snubbed by a bunch of bitches

and not even caring, i suppose this isnt really anything new, but i still dealt with it well. I didnt get into an argument or do the ignoring thing either i just acted like i didnt care (which actually wasnt acting) and left. I have to say the only thing that im pissed at is the fact that i wasted £2.50 to get in. I know this doesnt sound like a lot, but when yo know that advance tickets are £1 then you see where im coming from

...getting a hottie to walk me home

Sadly no number
hands to numb to type anymore but feel free to read the details of
Dan the foreign cute head on my other blog

...being a regular housewife

Well not like im a really housewife, considering im 18 and have commitment issues ^^
but yeah
after 3 complained about some random smell in the kitchen, and general house to the reception the janitor came up.
He has a key, which im still baffed about. But he kindly announced his presence
Bellowing: Janitor! as he waltz into the flat.
Naa im kidding he didnt bellow or waltz.
But yeah i came out of my room and gave him the skinny on the situation and we chatted for a bit
Hes shampooing the carpet
But i told him to call me if he neede any help and taht i was in number 4.

I feel so responsible.

...getting out my first set of equipment

Have an animation project due on Tuesday
for this i need a camera. Still not motion.
I went to the distribution place all shy and newbiee like
acting like your an idiot sometimes helps you get things done alot quicker than acting like you know it all.
The guy actually did everything for me as i gushed and ohh'd and ahh'd
was actually fun :)

Up/Down side is that i can only have it for 4 days.
Meaning that at 9:30am on Monday it all needs to be back.
Sucks cause i dont even need to be in on a Monday
Ah well i guess the time is now for spitballing ideas for this little movie thing.

...and my flat mates being in the same room at the same time

Even though ive lived here for 17days this has never happened
1-Always in his room ;)
2-I see often enough, but never in the morning (im asleep) or at night (he's asleep)
3-Ive seen the most considering her room is opposite mine and we went out a few times
4-Is me, and we all know i see myself often enough :p

Number deduce our room numbers

...alive after my first sheffield all nighter

i didnt even intend to stay out all night
it got to a point, after the shitty after party
that i wanted to go back to my room
considering it was literally across the road from the current flat
but they were like, come back to mine
usually i would resist
then i remembered the stepping stones
and said yes
had a secret smile to myself  recalling yes man
got inb the cab
and stayed and ate noodles and pizza
talked about the conspiracy of disney
and if you were born gay
amongst otrher things
as everyone was going to bed
(blow up mattress, bed, couch)
i declared i was going to walk
heck the sky was lightening and i never get to walk around in the silence
something i love
they resisted
i persisted
and here i am
was nothing really special but im glad i said yes
woman

...checking out the mall

mostly to job hunt
but meadhall is the place to do this
its bigger thank lakeside
but you wouldnt think so cause its a funny layout
gave out at least 10 cvs
i have a map so il do some online ones
i should reprain from going into whsmith or waterstones
no matter how much it pains me
cause i will ended up jammin for about 25minutes
each
The food court was ah-mazing,
all the smells mixed into one
the warmth
the resturants
its what a little piece of heaven would look like
also theres a cinema tucked away (Vue)
just incase

was a wicked day out :)

...taking the tram

Now i realise i should most likey take pictures of all the things that i do cause i just realised the word Look does imply that you should see.
but alas i have now camera and my phonw quality chooses at times to be great and at times to be grating.
so yeah it was cool, its really smooth and not as jiggidy as a train or as bumpy as a bus.

You walk on to the tram
You sit down
A ticket man will come and find you
You tell them where you are going (Meadowhall)
You pay for your ticket (£2.50)
If ever a conductor comes round you show them the ticket

Simple and cool

...skyping and what not

a good hour and a half with sezza
and im on now with nazia
<3

...making my first proper meal

now i woulda taken a picture but id already started eating and i think half eating pictures are really weird, so yeah i made rice and sauce and chicken. just like at home, my chicken is famous :)

one of the room mates even came in and was all oooh wow that smells good! you could tell it wasnt even fake cause it was like a shocked wow not a forced staged one

im well proud of myself, i do love to cook

...getting homework

i really dont understand it but im about to start it now and when im done i will explain it and you can see it and tell me what you think of my ninja drawing skills

...going food shopping

which i tend to do every other day so far, especially after the one incident where i bruised my left shoulder from carrying back stuff from quite a long distance, never again.
Today i got onions, angle cake, beef, salt and viniger crisps, pasta, apple juice (Tesco meal deal)

...playing basketball

Was a sports fair and we literally joined a million things and got emails inviting us to places and stuff, the basketball tryouts was at 5, and thats the time my lecture ended, so i was just planning to slink home.
Unfortunatly my friend caught me and was all...your still coming right?
i was all....ah shite i forgot and im wearing jeans:/
then she was all...im wearing shorts under my joggers so you can use the joggers
and i was all....erm yeah thanks okay.

Met a few new people and exchanged a few more digits and of course
played some Bball
which i havent done since the 5month record of year 11
granted after running up the court once i was out of breath
in my defence ive been living off junk food for the past week
and i havent actually gone to the gym religiously for at least 4 months
plus staminas not my strong point ^^

so yeah i played, and didnt make the team
:O i know i was surprised as well.
but they said we were free to come down and play friendlies on a sunday
so i might just take them up on that
its weird cause i dont think ive ever been on a sports team or gone to an after school club since my year5 days of gymnastics
so yeah, look at me :)

...sitting in a lecture

it was well cool like i was on an american tv show or something :)
rows and rows of us with little tables to rest our to big pads of paper on them
granted i fell asleep for 10minutes
but when i woke up i was in total uni girl mode
furiously scribbling down words on my paper
grabbing a copy of the power point on the way out
discussing me falling asleep after the lecture
good time

...meeting guys

;)
obviously ive met guys before, i did go to a mixed day,nursary,primary,secondary school but its a little weird here cause know, even with the unabashed freedom the guys cling to the guys and the girls are clinging to the girls. Instinct i suppose.
So yeah
guy when i went out with the flatmate
guy on my course i was chatting to cause he was to hung over to turn up the first week
guy at the arfo/caribbean society (to be further known as ACS)
hopefully more on the way

...drawing

which is actually what i had to do for a whole two hours
drew random objects
closed my eyes
felt up my face
then drew it
with my eyes closed of course
otherwise it woulda just been weird

...exchanging numbers

maybe only a total of 10 or more people
but thats better than no body
like a person a day
and im not the kinda person that gives out numbers easily
it falls into the category of me and my people issues

...joining a society

i actually mustered up enough energy to get my lazy ass out of my room
made  the 10minute walk to the campus
took the elevator to the 10th floor
and walked into a room full of black people

Ha yes i made that sound more offencive than i needed to
i was joining the afro and caribbean society
kinda cool
major culture shock coming all the way up here and seeing no afro/asain/mixed people
esp after living in londo for....ever
but yeah we get a bunch of perks
Cue jumps at a club on thursdays
discounted clubbing tickets
bunch of events need to organise and attend
met some new people
the leader/president or whatever looks like chris brown
exchanged numbers with people
which reminds me.....

...going on my first uni trip

Granted it was just a lame-o sculpture park but i hung out with more than one person and had a bit of a alaugh despite the cold, drizzle, flat shoes, mud and pointlessness of the entire day.
Did eat the most amazing chips whilst i was there...
Yum

...skipping class

i know this isnt a new thing, so your wondering why its one the whole "Look at Me..." blog
but its only casue i said i wouldnt unless i had to, esp cause i have to pass this year or i cant go on to next year, making this whole foundation course a waste of time and monies

in my defence it wasnt anything significant, just a health and safty thing.
unfortunatly, the one i decide not to turn up to is the one that we got registered for
oh irony of ironies

...all socialising and shizz

Day of arrival i actually went out withe the girl in my flat and the guys in the flat upstairs
and not only did i do this on the saturday, but the sunday as well.
Socialising isnt my strong point as i tend to have this thing against people, and yes i do realise how harsh this is but its not a rude thing. Just a weired me thing.
This isnt to say i dont like the people i already know, cause i love me, its just a new people thing where i tend to not make an effort to get to know about their little lives. It doesnt really add up if you thing about all the people i do know.
So yeah thats why it was weird that i was actually making convosation with these boring people, asking about their course, where they lived and blah blah blah.
I gave up with a few people who didnt reciprocate and gave lame 1word answers, trust me i can tell when someone doesnt want to answer questions i throw off the same vibe, but stronger :)

Look At Me....telling you what this blog is about

My other other blog
Half because other people seem to have two, the second being for the next part of their lives once the whole highschool bullshit has been done and dusted
Half because i tend to just do what i like
Half because ive had a bunch of stuff happen that im just lazy to go intop detail about because so much more nothiung occours in my day that id much rather talk about
So yeah thats it.

The the title bythe way isnt a vanity thing, despite what a friend or two might say, basically ive been texting around this line
"Look at me socialising"
The prospect of look at me being that its something that i tend to not do often or rarely, if at all, so yeah, uni means thta there will be alot to look at.
For this one imma try and put in pictures and all other random shizz to try and differentiate it from my other main wicked awesome icecream blog

http://www.letsnotbemelodramatic.blogspot.com/

Look at me all advertising my blog
